“Ancelotti is the best coach in the world,” Gattuso told Diario AS as quoted by Tribuna.com.
“Carlo comes from three or four generations ago. And he has always had the key to get inside the players’ heads. Regardless of tactics or his way of training, he is the best for this. It seems easy but it is not.”
Ancelotti has won four Champions League trophies, two with AC Milan (2002/03, 2006/07) and another two with Real Madrid (2013/14, 2021/22) which is the most wins of any coach in history.
He is also the only coach to have won all the top five European Leagues (Premier League, Serie A, Laliga, French Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga)
Real Madrid have won 12 Spanish Super Cups.
